1 1/5 can be written as 6/5
7 1/2 can be written as 15/2
Let X be the number of laps Kellyn wants to jog to meet her 7 1/2 mile goal:
6/5x = 15/2 Multiply both sides by (5/6), the inverse of 6/5
x = 15(5) / 2 ( 6)
x = 75 / 12
X = 25 / 4, or 6 and 1/4 laps
Answer:
<h2>x < 2</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving inequalities is easy, you just need to follow the standard rules of algebra. Also, when multiplying or dividing by a negative number, the inequality sign is reversed.
Step 1: Divide by 5
x < 2
Step 2: Check
5(1) < 10
5 < 10✔️
Step 3: Check Again
Since an inequality has multiple solutions, it is important to check at least 2, to determine if the entire range of solutions is true.
5(-6) < 10
-30 < 10✔️
Step 4: Verified Answer
x < 2
I'm always happy to help :)
